Book Reviews of From The Notebooks Of Melanin Sun
Book Review: Not one of the author's best novels!
Summary: 1 Stars
I just didn't like this novel. I felt it talked down to the reader or it's audience. I wouldn't want my students reading this book because I felt it failed develop the main characters. The lesbian couple in the book never materialize into a couple that you want to root for. Melanin Sun never comes across alive to me. I wouldn't recommend this book for reading anyway.
Summary of From The Notebooks Of Melanin Sun
Melanin Sun's mother has some big news: she's in love with a woman. Now he has many decisions to make: Should he stand by his mother even though it could mean losing his friends? Should he abandon the only family he's ever known? Either way, Melanin Sun is about to learn the true meaning of sacrifice, prejudice, and love.
